    Question

    A person walks at a speed of 2 km/hr and reaches a destination in 4 hours. If the person increases the speed by 3 km/hr, how much earlier will they reach the destination?

    A.

    2.4 hours

    B.

    2.8 hours

    C.

    2 hours

    D.

    1.6 hours

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    S1 = 2 km/hr, T1 = 4 hours
    S2 = 2 + 3 = 5 km/hr
    Formula Used:
    Distance = S1 × \times ​T1
    T2 = Distance / S2
    Time saved = T1 - T2
    Solution:
    Distance = 2 ×\times​ 4 = 8 km
    T2 = 8 / 5 = 1.6 hours
    Time saved = 4 - 1.6 = 2.4 hours
    So the correct answer is (a).
